Worcestershire boxer Alex Strutt is looking forward to September 18 when he returns to the ring after a ten month break. Strutt - aka ‘The Sledgehammer’ - will fight at Wolverhampton Civic Hall in Wolverhampton, England on a bill presented by First Team Promotions.

Last time out, the 27 year old middleweight drew against Pawel Trebinski, seeing his professional record to 2 wins (1 by KO), no losses and 1 draw. In recent months, Strutt has switched camps from Richie Woodall to Paul Webb's gym at Chelmsley Wood, Birmingham. More...

Last night at the Watford Colosseum in Watford, England, World Sports Organisation promoter Jon Feld presented a night of boxing which would be memorable in more ways than one!

Although not the main event, home-boy Ojay Abrahams faced Jamie Ambler of Aberystwyth in a four round super middleweight contest which was to ʽheraldʼ Abrahamsʼ 17 year career and 100th professional fight.

Even more ʼspecialʼ was the fact that veteran trainer Billy Graham would be in Abrahams' corner. ʽThe Preacherʼ would be at his last fight - having retired from boxing this week after being sacked by the Hattons. This was going to be both men's professional farewell and an emotional night was expected, but sadly it wasnʼt to end well for ʽMe, Myself and Iʼ.

Entering the ring alongside Graham, Kerry Kayes and Mick Williamson, Abrahams was dressed like a ʽwizardʼ in pointed hat and black cape, which bore the number ʽ100ʼ in gold. The crowd were all on their feet as they clapped their respect for both Abrahams and Graham. More...
